We are glad to have you join the forum, @LeslieTritsch. A warm welcome, and I would be happy to help you achieve your goal today.

 

Yes, you are right! You could also perform these steps as it works with QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2022. I will go over the guidelines in more detail. First, when configuring multi-user in QuickBooks Desktop, ensure that your company files are kept on the local hard drive of your computer server. It makes it easier to share them across your network.

 

Then, to share company files, enable folder and Windows access permissions. It ensures that workstations can access and interact with your clients. I will show you how:

 

  1. Right-click the folder that carries the company file.
  2. Go to Properties, then choose Security and Edit.
  3. Click QBDataServiceUserXX and then select Full Control.
  4. Then Allow.
  5. Click Apply, and then press the OK button.

 

Once done, follow the instructions below:

 

  1. Press Windows + E keys to open File Explorer.
  2. Find and right-click the folder containing your company files.
  3. Move to PropertiesSharingShared Add.
  4. Choose the corresponding QBDataServiceUserXX for your version.
  5. Set the permission level of both users to Full Control and Share.

 

For detailed information, refer to this article: Install QuickBooks Desktop on a Server.

 

Moreover, this article might come in handy in the future: How to fix Error H202 and H505. It contains information on what Errors H202 and H505 are and what to do if you see them in QuickBooks Desktop.
